Author: GRAY, NICHOLAS FREDERICK Abstract: Carbon footprint models are increasingly being used to manage personal and household carbon dioxide emissions. Six models were compared for their suitability for use in Ireland using typical data for a household of three people. The annual household energy and transportation emissions ranged from 10,540 to 17,361 kg CO2 yr− 1 (mean 12,886; sd 2135) rising to a total footprint of 12,053 to 27, 218 kg CO2 yr− 1 (mean 18,117; sd 5106) when aviation emissions were included. This represents a potential range for individual CO2 emissions of between 4018 and 9073 kg CO2/person/annum, a variation of over 5 tonnes/person. The information provided by these models proved to be inconsistent and often contradictory. The high variability between models was due to a number of anomalies. When these were corrected mean household energy and transportation emissions fell to 12,130 kg CO2 yr− 1 (sd 805), with a total household footprint of 16,552 kg CO2 yr− 1 (sd 1101). Models vary in their complexity in terms of what is included in the overall estimation of emissions making a full analysis of the primary carbon footprint very difficult. When compared to current Irish conversion factors the corrected models either underestimated or overestimated CO2 emissions by approximately 10%. Current carbon footprint models excluded emissions from CH4 and N2O underestimating CO2 emissions for the household by 1.8%.

Abstract: Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) can affect biotic and abiotic conditions in soil, such as microbial activity and water content1, 2. In turn, these changes might be expected to alter the production and consumption of the important greenhouse gases nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) (refs 2, 3). However, studies on fluxes of N2O and CH4 from soil under increased atmospheric CO2 have not been quantitatively synthesized. Here we show, using meta-analysis, that increased CO2 (ranging from 463 to 780 parts per million by volume) stimulates both N2O emissions from upland soils and CH4 emissions from rice paddies and natural wetlands. Because enhanced greenhouse-gas emissions add to the radiative forcing of terrestrial ecosystems, these emissions are expected to negate at least 16.6 per cent of the climate change mitigation potential previously predicted from an increase in the terrestrial carbon sink under increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations4. Our results therefore suggest that the capacity of land ecosystems to slow climate warming has been overestimated. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z A catalogue of Irish pollen diagrams http://hdl.handle.net/2262/67376 Title: A catalogue of Irish pollen diagrams Author: MITCHELL, FRASER Abstract: The first Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists' Journal in 1927. Since then over 471 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and time spans. The data from these pollen diagrams can be used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics over long time scales and so facilitate the investigation of climate change impacts, plant migration and the scale of human induced landscape change. In this paper we collate the available data from Irish pollen sites into the Irish Pollen Site Database (IPOL) to illustrate their distribution and range. It is intended that this database will be a useful research resource for anyone investigating Irish vegetation history. The database also links to the European and global research agenda surrounding impacts of climate change on ecosystems and associated livelihoods. The IPOL database can be accessed online at www.ipol.ie.

Intensive arable plant communities have previously been shown to contain higher proportions of self-pollinated plants compared to natural or semi-natural plant communities. Though intensive grasslands are widespread, it is not known whether they show similar patterns to arable systems nor whether local and/or landscape factors are influential. We investigated plant community composition in 10 pairs of organic and conventional dairy farms across Ireland in relation to the local and landscape context. Relationships between plant groups and local factors (farming system, position in field and soil parameters) and landscape factors (e.g. landscape complexity) were investigated. The percentage cover of unimproved grassland was used as an inverse predictor of landscape complexity, as it was negatively correlated with habitat-type diversity. Intensive grasslands (organic and conventional) contained more insect-pollinated forbs than non-insect pollinated forbs. Organic field centres contained more insect-pollinated forbs than conventional field centres. Insect-pollinated forb richness in field edges (but not field centres) increased with increasing landscape complexity (% unimproved grassland) within 1, 3, 4 and 5 km radii around sites, whereas non-insect pollinated forb richness was unrelated to landscape complexity. Pollination systems within intensive grassland communities may be different from those in arable systems. Our results indicate that organic management increases plant richness in field centres, but that landscape complexity exerts strong influences in both organic and conventional field edges. Insect-pollinated forb richness, unlike that for non-insect pollinated forbs, showed positive relationships to landscape complexity reflecting what has been documented for bees and other pollinators. The insect-pollinated forbs, their pollinators and landscape context are clearly linked. This needs to be taken into account when managing and conserving insect-pollinated plant and pollinator communities.

In small-scale farming systems, seed exchanges represent a key mechanism in the dynamics of crop genetic diversity, and analyzing the rules that structure social networks of seed exchange between farmer communities can help decipher patterns of crop genetic diversity. Using a combination of ethnobotanical and molecular genetic approaches, we investigated the relationships between regional patterns of manioc genetic diversity in Gabon and local networks of seed exchange. Spatially explicit Bayesian clustering methods showed that geographical discontinuities of manioc genetic diversity mirror major ethnolinguistic boundaries, with a southern matrilineal domain characterized by high levels of varietal diversity and a northern patrilineal domain characterized by low varietal diversity. Borrowing concepts from anthropology-kinship, bridewealth, and filiation-we analyzed the relationships between marriage exchanges and seed exchange networks in patrilineal and matrilineal societies. We demonstrate that, by defining marriage prohibitions, kinship systems structure social networks of exchange between farmer communities and influence the movement of seeds in metapopulations, shaping crop diversity at local and regional levels. Description: PUBLISHED 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z A 1000-year reconstruction of summer precipitation from Ireland: Calibration of a peat-based palaeoclimate record http://hdl.handle.net/2262/63709 Title: A 1000-year reconstruction of summer precipitation from Ireland: Calibration of a peat-based palaeoclimate record Author: MITCHELL, FRASER JOHN GRAY Abstract: Calibration of proxy climate records is well-established for annually resolved proxies such as tree rings, but it has not been attempted for non-annually resolved proxies such as those from peatland surface wetness records. Several previous studies have suggested that peatland surface wetness is primarily driven by warm season moisture balance and implied a potential for producing calibrated records of deficit or precipitation. This paper presents a high-resolution testate amoebae analysis of a peat record from central Ireland covering the last c.1000 years, and provides the first attempt to produce a calibrated record of past precipitation from a peat record. Past water table depth was reconstructed using a transfer function applied to contiguous samples for the top 1m of the profile. The chronology was constrained by a series of radiocarbon ages (including 'bomb-spike' ages) and spheroidal carbonaceous particles. Correlations between reconstructed water tables and meteorological records (1958-1995) of precipitation and deficit were strongly positive and were used to reconstruct precipitation and deficit from the last 1000 years. Validation using earlier meteorological records was hampered by very low peat accumulation rates, but suggested the summer precipitation and deficit reconstructions were more robust than a reconstruction of annual precipitation. The summer precipitation reconstruction suggests that the period AD1400-1850 experienced higher summer rainfall than for much of both the preceding 400 years and the last 150 years. The change in regime from low to high summer rainfall may be attributed to changes in the summer North Atlantic Oscillation. Combined with tree ring and speleothem records of winter NAO, this suggests a major change in seasonality of precipitation in far western Europe between the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age. The MCA was characterised by dry summers and wet winters, whilst the LIA had wet summers and dry winters. Calibration of peat surface wetness records using meteorological records holds much potential for the future and may lead to improved insights into seasonal precipitation and water balance changes. This study was limited by slow accumulation rates leading to low temporal resolution for the late 19th and early 20th century part of the record. Further development of the technique will require more highly temporally resolved records of change over the whole of the instrumental time period to allow a full calibration and validation approach to be applied. Description: PUBLISHED 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z An agronomic assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from major cereal crops http://hdl.handle.net/2262/62561 Title: An agronomic assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from major cereal crops Author: VAN GROENIGEN, CORNELIS JAN Abstract: Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute approximately 12% to total global anthropogenic GHG emissions. Cereals (rice, wheat, and maize) are the largest source of human calories, and it is estimated that world cereal production must increase by 1.3% annually to 2025 to meet growing demand. Sustainable intensification of cereal production systems will require maintaining high yields while reducing environmental costs. We conducted a meta-analysis (57 published studies consisting of 62 study sites and 328 observations) to test the hypothesis that the global warming potential (GWP) of CH4 and N2O emissions from rice, wheat, and maize, when expressed per ton of grain (yield-scaled GWP), is similar, and that the lowest value for each cereal is achieved at near optimal yields. Results show that the GWP of CH4 and N2O emissions from rice (3757 kg CO2 eq ha-1 season-1) was higher than wheat (662 kg CO2 eq ha-1 season-1) and maize (1399 kg CO2 eq ha-1 season-1). The yield-scaled GWP of rice was about four times higher (657 kg CO2 eq Mg-1) than wheat (166 kg CO2 eq Mg-1) and maize (185 kg CO2 eq Mg-1). Across cereals, the lowest yield-scaled GWP values were achieved at 92% of maximal yield and were about twice as high for rice (279 kg CO2 eq Mg-1) than wheat (102 kg CO2 eq Mg-1) or maize (140 kg CO2 eq Mg-1), suggesting greater mitigation opportunities for rice systems. In rice, wheat and maize, 0.68%, 1.21%, and 1.06% of N applied was emitted as N2O, respectively. In rice systems, there was no correlation between CH4 emissions and N rate. In addition, when evaluating issues related to food security and environmental sustainability, other factors including cultural significance, the provisioning of ecosystem services, and human health and well-being must also be considered.

Description: PUBLISHED 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Testing DNDC model for simulating soil respiration and assessing the effects of climate change on the CO2 gas flux from Irish agriculture http://hdl.handle.net/2262/59824 Title: Testing DNDC model for simulating soil respiration and assessing the effects of climate change on the CO2 gas flux from Irish agriculture Author: WILLIAMS, MICHAEL LEONARD; JONES, MICHAEL BEVAN; ABDALLA, MOHAMED Abstract: Simulation models can be valuable to investigate potential effects of climate change on greenhouse gas emissions from terrestrial ecosystems. DNDC (the DeNitrification-DeComposition model) was tested against observed soil respiration data from adjacent pasture and arable fields in the Irish midlands. The arable field was converted from grassland approximately 50 years ago and managed since 2003 under two different tillage systems; conventional and reduced tillage. Both fields were located on the same soil type, classified as a free draining sandy loam soil derived from fluvial glacial gravels with low soil moisture holding capacity. Soil respiration measurements were made from January 2003 to August 2005. Three climate scenarios were investigated, a baseline of measured climatic data from a weather station at the field site, and high and low temperature sensitivity scenarios predicted by the Community Climate Change Consortium for Ireland (C4I) based on the Hadley Centre Global Climate Model (HadCM3) and the Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) A1B emission scenario. The aims of this study were to use measured soil respiration rates to validate the DNDC model for estimating CO2 efflux from these key Irish soils, investigate the effects of future climate change on CO2 efflux and estimate the efflux uncertainties due to using different future climate projections. The results indicate that the DNDC model can reliably estimate soil respiration from the two fields examined. The model underestimated annual measured CO2 efflux from the pasture by only13% (model efficiency: ME = 0.6; root mean square error: RMSE = 1.9 and mean absolute error: MAE = 6.3) and that from the arable conventional and reduced tillage by 9% (ME = 0.6; RMSE = 1.6 and MAE = 2.4) and 8% (ME = 0.23; RMSE = 1.8 and MAE = 2.9), respectively. Short-term land use change had no significant effects on CO2 effluxes from soil. Using the high temperature sensitive scenario, future C effluxes would increase by 15% for the pasture and 14 and 16% for the arable conventional and reduced tillage systems, respectively. However, under the low temperature sensitive scenario, lower increases in the C efflux of 6% for the pasture and 5% for the arable field were predicted. The calculated annual CO2 efflux uncertainties for using the high and low temperature sensitivity scenarios were 9% for the pasture and 8% for the arable field.

Worst cutomer service ever does not guarantee product – Have frequentd this store for 2 years exclusively since moving to Huber 2 years ago. REcently was diagnosed with COPD. Went smokeless with the help of a product called E-Health cigarette. Electric gigarette that came in a kit for $40.00 plus a carton of sleeves that we're $15.00
. Had the unit 2 weeks and it quit working. Took back to store and owner said it was manufacturers responsibilty to replce it. I called they said it was the stores. i called back to the store and told them I wanted their distributors number. I called distributor,distributor said store responsibility. I called store and told store what distributor said,"Take product back, give customer a replacement and distributor would give them a credit."
Owner still refused to exchange for a good product. IF this is how you trat a loyal customer (past loyal customer) then how are you staying in business. When you go in there and owner is working he is very rude to the customers especially if you are of female gender.For all you smokers and non-smokers trying to quit and interested in the electric cigarette here is my advice aboiut this store......RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN , YOU HAVE NO QUARANTEES AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RICES ARE NOT SO CHEAP. But if you want to just stop in and say Hi to Glenda she will appreciate it.

Every accredited seminary is required to have a field education program, with students ministering under the oversight of field supervisors/mentors. Therefore, every student who graduates from GGBTS must take TFE.
You must have completed 18 semester hours for MDiv and DTH, and 12 semester hours for all other degrees and DEL prior to the semester you begin your TFE. TFE also requires specific course prerequisites (please check the current GGBTS catalog ). TFE is normally taken during your second year of study.
May 15 for the following fall semester.
You should start considering where you will do your TFE the first week you are enrolled at GGBTS. Most students get "plugged into" a church soon after coming to campus. Others are already involved in serving in a church. Your TFE should match your passion for ministry and where you see God leading you to minister in the future. In other words, it should be a place that helps you gain the ministry skills that you will need in the future.
You will need to serve a minimum of 10 hours per week during your TFE ministry practicum. At least 6 of the 10 hours must be "face-to-face" ministry (teaching, preaching, leading a group, visiting, evangelism, etc.)
Once you begin your TFE ministry practicum you will create a covenant of learning. It will specify the hours you will serve and your responsibilities in your ministry setting as well as learning and growth goals that you wish to achieve during your TFE.
A team providing constructive feedback and guidance to the student during the ministry practicum consisting of::
Peer Reflection Group Leader – your on-campus or online GGBTS professor
Peer Reflection Group – your on-campus or online class
Field Mentor – your ministry supervisor who meets specific qualifications; enlisted and identified on the TFE application
Spiritual Formation Mentor – provides spiritual guidance during your ministry practicum; enlisted and identified on the TFE application
Ministry Reflection Group – a group of ministry recipients and/or ministry partners enlisted after your TFE class begins
See the TFE Handbook for a more detailed description of each of these.
Your Field Mentor will be your supervisor during your ministry practicum. You will meet with them weekly for a minimum of one hour. They will hold you accountable and give you guidance and encouragement as you serve in your ministry setting and pursue your covenant goals.
Your Field Mentor may have had previous supervision training, but not all such training is equal. It benefits you to have your Field Mentor know our philosophy at GGBTS, the unique features of our TFE program, and our commitment to the ministry of supervision. It is also to your own Field Mentor's benefit to understand and be equipped to work with you in our program.
No matter what we do in ministry, it is spiritual in nature. We have found out through experience, however, that Field Mentors tend to focus upon ministry skill formation more than spiritual formation. Your Spiritual Formation Mentor will help you focus on how you are growing spiritually during your TFE.

Has anyone noticed an error with the time stamps on sms messages.
If you send an sms to someone it will stamp the message with the correct time, however if you recieve a message from someone the time stamp is off, for me its off by 5 hours. i assume this becuase im in toronto and my time zone is set to -5gmt.
Has anyone else noticed a similar error perhaps off by whatever time zone your in, or it might just be -5 hours for everyone.
or is this a result of unlocking the phone?

A Sound Check For Digital Attribution [via AdExchanger]
Marc Rossen, Sr. Director of Digital Attribution at MarketShare, discusses the similarities between Miles Davis, audiophiles, and digital attribution.
"Digital attribution has plenty of technical jargon, too, such as predictive models, sample errors and selection bias, to name a few. These technical terms are meant to help describe a consumer reality. How, for instance, did multiple touch points in a sequence of events influence a consumer to buy a product or perform some high-value brand interaction? The challenge for our industry is that we are too wrapped up listening to MP3s and have forgotten what music should really sound like. The value chain is being crippled by weak links.
Consider two examples: offline factors, like TV, and view-through display banner impressions."
Part of a regular series from AdExchanger, "Data-Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.

MarketShare Featured in UK Research Report
A new report by UK-based Market Research Society (MRS) that explores how marketers are coping with an increasingly interactive, multi-screen world features MarketShare prominently. MRS – which bills itself as the world's leading research association – cites MarketShare's expertise in solving attribution, optimization and allocation challenges for major marketers.
A report titled "What Are You Looking At?" on the highly-regarded MRS website Research notes that MarketShare is "applying itself wholeheartedly to the problem of attribution in a multi-screen world" and quotes Heath Podvesker, EVP for EMEA. "You have to start by asking, how am I defining what a screen is," says Podvesker, who adds that even today's digital billboards have become a type of screen.
"Any form of digital distribution has a very high volume of data, from cookies to clicks. It's terabytes and terabytes of data," he says. "Management has always claimed it was drowning in data. But it's going to get a hell of a lot worse."
The MRS report goes on to describe MarketShare's approach using both top-down and bottom-up models that lets marketers see and measure interactions between devices in ways they never could before. Says Podvesker, "Now I can have a wonderful understanding of how my television drives my search, or how paid search is driving display advertising; and so that's a quantitative picture of what's happening. This provides me with the structure and direction that I need to plan and deploy my budget more effectively."Add a comment
HBR Features Article by MarketShare Advisory Board Member
Thomas H. Davenport, a MarketShare Advisory Board member and Distinguished Professor of IT at Babson College, is the author of a new article "Analytics 3.0" in the December 2013 issue of Harvard Business Review. The article describes a new era of analytics where companies now turn to building analytical power into customer products and services.
Until now, analytics have been used mainly for improving internal decision making processes. But the new strategic focus is toward using analytics to deliver more value to customers, with major implications for how analytics are approached within organizations. "Today it isn't just online and information firms that can create products and services from analyses of data. It's every firm in every industry," he says. According to Davenport, in the era of Analytics 3.0, managers must drive efforts on at least ten fronts, from creatively combining data management approaches to shaping new analytics-focused roles to setting guidelines for responding to digital smoke signals.
"One thing is clear," says Davenport, who is also a fellow at MIT's Center for Digital Business, a senior adviser to Deloitte Analytics, and a cofounder of the International Institute for Analytics, "the new capabilities required can't be developed using old models for how analytics supported the business. Companies that want to prosper in the new data economy must fundamentally rethink how the analysis of data can create value..."Add a comment
eMarketer Cross Channel Attribution Report: Additional marketing channels mean cross-platform attribution is now a requirement
As major marketers continue to spend across a broader mix of channels, measuring impact of those investments is becoming both more important and more difficult at the same time. According to a new eMarketer report on Cross Channel Attribution which prominently features MarketShare, the methods most marketers rely on today to measure attribution don't translate well to cross-platform campaigns.
"Digital attribution is being fueled by digital marketing managers' desire to optimize the budget world they control," says MarketShare EVP Pat LaPointe in the report. "But digital is rapidly being merged into the rest of the marketing organization. At the higher level, nobody cares what makes people click. They want to know what makes them buy...and then buy more. That mainstreaming of digital into the full marketing spectrum now requires that attribution be more holistic and connected to the big picture."
Some companies are combining top-down and bottom-up approaches for a more complete attribution picture. For example, one MarketShare software client mixes both models. By nature, says LaPointe, most of the firm's sales transact online, though some are in-store. So MarketShare first integrated online and offline data into a marketing mix model to determine how offline channels drive website traffic, online shopping cart activity and transactions. The company was also sensitive to external factors affecting disposable income levels, so those were incorporated as well. MarketShare then developed individual attribution models to uncover which digital pathways were truly driving sales. "By connecting the top-level view of the market with the individual pathway attribution view, we were able to not just optimize those things that were in the addressable portion of the marketing tactics, but we were able to do it with a sense of the dollars and cents involved in doing so," says LaPointe.
See an Executive Summary of the report here. The MarketShare whitepapers "Beyond Marketing Mix Modeling" and "Where Sophistication Meets Scale" may also be of interest.Add a comment

'Dumb Ways To Die' Is 'Most Awarded Gunn Report Campaign Ever'
McCann Agencies In Melbourne, Mumbai, Madrid, Oslo & New York Share Honors
NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann Erickson was recognized in The Gunn Report 2013 for a number of first-place global rankings, including the most-awarded digital work of 2013 and the most-awarded agency in the world in 2013. While McCann Melbourne won the lion's share of the honors, McCann Madrid, McCann Oslo, McCann Mumbai and McCann New York all contributed to the winning rankings across the McCann network.
The Gunn Report analyzes and evaluates all of the winners from what it regards as the world's most important advertising competitions and produces a global ranking of the most-awarded ad agencies, campaigns, clients and countries.
McCann Melbourne's digital work for Metro Trains and "Dumb Ways To Die" was the most-awarded digital work in the world in 2013, and the TV commercial for this campaign was ranked No. 1 globally. McCann Melbourne was ranked first, sharing the top spot, for the most-awarded agency in the world in 2013.
"Dumb Ways To Die" is now "the most-awarded Gunn Report campaign ever," the Gunn Report said.
McCann Erickson Worldwide also rose into the top five among "The Most Awarded Agency Networks in The World" in 2013, highlighted by recognition in Australia, India, New York, Norway and Spain. The top 5 ranking is the network's "highest ever ranking," according to The Gunn Report.
McCann Melbourne's combined work for Metro Trains and "Dumb Ways To Die" was ranked second in the "All Gunns Blazing" evaluation of all creative work in the world in 2013. McCann Melbourne was ranked third among the most-awarded digital agencies in the world in 2013. And McCann Melbourne's print work for Metro Trains and "Dumb Ways To Die" was the third most-awarded print work in the world in 2013.
McCann Mumbai won three honors. The agency was ranked one of the most-awarded agencies in the world in 2013. McCann Mumbai's print campaigns for Western Union and for Penguin Audiobooks were both ranked among the most-awarded print campaigns in the world in 2013.
McCann Spain's TV commercial for Calvo Tuna and McCann Oslo's TV commercial for Wideroe Airlines were also ranked among the most-awarded TV commercials in the world in 2013.
McCann New York's digital campaign for Nature Valley Trail View was ranked one of the most-awarded digital campaigns in the world in 2013.
"This is a another great achievement for the entire McCann network, highlighted by the tremendous success of our Melbourne and Mumbai offices," said Harris Diamond, Chairman and CEO of McCann Worldgroup. "The recognition across categories from digital to print to TV is a testament to the great work our people do all around the world."
McCann's recognition by The Gunn report follows tremendous awards recognition the network has enjoyed globally this year, including: The McCann U.S. network was named the #1 "Agency To Watch" in the Advertising Age 2014 Hot List; McCann was ranked third by Advertising Age & Creativity magazine's Annual Awards Report; The Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity in Singapore and the Golden Drum Awards in Eastern Europe where McCann Worldgroup in both cases was named "Network Of The Year;" recognition from The EFFIE Awards, ranking McCann Worldgroup the 3rd most effective agency network in the world; "Agency Of The Year" honors for McCann New York at the 2013 ADC Awards; a phenomenal showing at the Cannes Lions, with an unprecedented 5 Grand Prix; the most awarded Network at the Webby awards; the most awarded agency and campaign at D&AD; and Best Of Show at the Global One Show awards.
McCann's creative recognition follows the addition of several new global and regional clients, including the consolidation of the Chevrolet business globally, the addition of Zurich Insurance and SABIC to the network's global roster, and U.S. clients including the U.S. Postal Service, Lockheed Martin, and Jose Cuervo.
McCann Worldgroup, part of Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG), is a leading global marketing company with 23,000 employees in more than 120 countries comprising McCann Erickson (advertising), MRM (digital marketing/relationship management), Momentum (event marketing/promotion), McCann Health (professional/dtc communications), CRAFT (global adaptation and production), UM (media management), Weber Shandwick (public relations), and FutureBrand (consulting/design).

No. 42: Cincinnati
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 28, 2012
In a parallel universe, Zach Collaros rolls to his left, eludes one potential tackler and then slides ahead for a short gain. In another parallel universe, Collaros simply accepts his fate, and is swallowed under by three, four, five West Virginia defenders. In a third parallel universe, Collaros stiff-arms a pass rusher, rolls to his right and throws the ball three rows high in the stands. Instead, Collaros took the shotgun snap, stepped back three yards, hopped two paces to his right, reversed course, paused, pump-faked and ran diagonally towards the goal line before being ripped down to the turf, falling with his full weight upon his right ankle, the ball popping high into the air and into the end zone, where it was recovered by West Virginia's Julian Miller for a touchdown. His regular season was over: Collaros underwent surgery for a broken ankle two days later before returning in time for Cincinnati's bowl win over Vanderbilt. In his place came Munchie Legaux, a sophomore, and out went the Bearcats' chances at winning the Big East. It's a short, jam-packed season: one play can make all the difference in the world.

Last year's prediction
Cincinnati's going to make a nice improvement. The Bearcats are headed back to bowl play, as this team is far too talented to not make a three-game improvement in the win column. But U.C. cannot be considered a Big East title favorite — alongside Pittsburgh and West Virginia — with these two major question marks: the offensive line and the defense as a whole, the secondary in particular. Even with this line, I don't think the offense is going to struggle: I think the offense will be better than it was a year ago. Collaros is a very good Big East quarterback, Pead can clearly get it done on the ground and the receiver corps, though unproven, has more than enough talent to get by. It just all comes back to this defense. It will be better, pushing this team away from the bottom of the Big East, but it won't be good enough to vault U.C. past the conference favorites.
2011 recap
In a nutshell It was a nice bounce-back year for Butch Jones, who led Cincinnati to its fourth double-digit win season in five tries after his disappointing debut. The most noticeable development was the improvement on the offensive side of the ball, where the Bearcats scored nearly an additional touchdown per game than in 2010; after ranking 57th nationally in scoring in Jones' first season, the Bearcats moved up to 26th in the F.B.S. last fall. The offensive growth overshadowed the great strides taken on defense, where the Bearcats were in their second season playing in a base 4-3 set after using a 3-4 look under Brian Kelly. Cincinnati finished sixth nationally in rush defense, ahead of Georgia, Michigan State and Virginia Tech, among others, and only yards behind teams like L.S.U. and Stanford.
High point Wins over Louisville and Pittsburgh, which along with a win over South Florida gave the Bearcats a perfect start to Big East play. Also in the running: Cincinnati's 44-14 destruction of N.C. State in September, one the Bearcats led by 41-14 after three quarters, and the bowl win over the Commodores.
Low point The loss to West Virginia. The Bearcats still had a shot at the Big East title heading into the final week of the regular season, but the Mountaineers were able to get past U.S.F. to clinch an Orange Bowl berth.
Tidbit With West Virginia now part of the Big 12, Cincinnati is the only Big East program with four double-digit win seasons over the last five years. Scratch that: Cincinnati is the only Big East program with more than one double-digit win season over the last five years. Pittsburgh, which won 10 games in 2009, is the only other program in the league with a double-digit win season since 2007. The Bearcats have won 55 games over the last six years, also the most among current members of the Big East. The rest, in order: Rutgers (49), South Florida (47), Pittsburgh (44), Connecticut (42), Louisville (41), Temple (36) and Syracuse (26).
Tidbit (old, old edition) Cincinnati bills itself as one of the five oldest programs in college football. Unfortunately, that isn't true – though the university isn't too far off. While not the fifth-oldest program in the F.B.S., Cincinnati, which played its first game in 1885, is the ninth-oldest among those schools that have traditionally been part of the F.B.S.; this does not include Massachusetts, which played its first game in 1879 but will only join the division in September. Those programs older than Cincinnati, with first season of play in parentheses: Rutgers (1869), Northwestern (1875), Michigan (1878), Navy (1879), Kentucky (1881), Penn State (1881) – each christened its program on Nov. 12 of that year – Minnesota (Sept. 30, 1882) and California (Dec. 8, 1882). Cincinnati is mere months older than Michigan State, which played its first game on June 5, 1886.

Butch Jones (Ferris State '90), 14-11 after two seasons at Cincinnati. It wasn't a great start for Jones, who won four games in his debut season, but he led the Bearcats to another double-digit win campaign last fall – replicating yet another one of Brian Kelly's feats. Jones was tabbed as Central Michigan's new coach in 2007 after Kelly left C.M.U. for Cincinnati, and in some regards he took the program to new heights. His record at C.M.U. was 29-13, with a 12-2 season and MAC championship in 2009 bringing Jones into the conversation for a handful of B.C.S. conference openings. Through two seasons, his 16 victories and 13 wins in conference play were the second-most of any MAC coach over his first two years. He also led the Chippewas to three consecutive bowl trips, a program first. Yes, Kelly was the coach who first brought C.M.U. out of its generation-long malaise, but don't allow that in any way to detract from the job Jones did smoothly transitioning his coaching staff while keeping in place the same offense that Kelly had implemented to perfection over his three-year term in Mount Pleasant. It was a happy return to C.M.U. for Jones, who served as an assistant coach with the Chippewas from 1998-2004, including a three-year stint (2001-3) as offensive coordinator. Following the 2004 season, Jones left to serve as Rich Rodriguez's wide receivers coach at West Virginia. A two-year stint under Rodriguez allowed Jones to at least gain a measure of familiarity with the Big East. It also allowed him to familiarize himself with the spread offense, though Jones was very wise to merely continue running Kelly's offense at Central Michigan instead of implementing a new system. The comparisons between Jones and Kelly won't end soon, but Jones is beginning to make a name for himself thanks to the way he rapidly rebuilt Cincinnati into a Big East contender.

Munchie Legaux didn't play himself out of contention for the starting job during his four-game audition last November, but neither did Legaux play well enough to be the undisputed starter heading into spring ball. If nothing else, Legaux's unpredictable play as an injury replacement for Zach Collaros indicated some substantial room for growth – that's looking at things positively, as it would be easy to say that his struggles in the starting lineup proved that Legaux simply doesn't have what it takes to run Cincinnati's offense at full tilt.
The truth lies somewhere in between. Based on last season, Legaux would give U.C. the sort of dual-threat quarterback Jones seems to favor in his system; at the same time, he does need to show drastic improvement come September to maintain his starting role. Over four games as Cincinnati's primary quarterback, Legaux completed 50 of 107 attempts for 688 yards with 5 touchdowns and 4 picks; he added 147 yards on the ground, including 77 yards in the narrow loss to West Virginia. His running ability distances him from Cincinnati's other leading options at quarterback, but Legaux simply must become more consistent and reliable as a passer for this offense to reach its full potential.
And it's way too early to anoint Legaux as the starter – partly due to his own inefficiencies, to be honest. Senior Brandon Kay made a push for the starting job with a strong spring, but he has his own faults to overcome: Kay has been prone to injuries throughout his career, beginning with a knee injury he suffered in 2008. But due in large part to his injuries, Kay lacks Leeaux's mobility; when push comes to shove, Jones will want Legeux's athleticism at quarterback. Still, the junior has much to prove – to his coaches, his team and the rest of the Big East.
U.C. also needs to find a replacement for running back Isaiah Pead, who left as one of three backs in school history to post two 1,000-yard seasons. While senior George Winn (219 yards) will open the year as his replacement, it will be interesting to see how Jones and his staff utilize two very, very promising sophomores: Ralph David Abernathy IV and Jameel Poteat. Abernathy – the grandson of civil rights hero Ralph Abernathy – has proven himself as a weapon in the return game; after failing to grab a role in the backfield last fall, he must show that he can translate his speed on special teams to the offensive side of the ball. Poteat, a pretty major recruit, was likewise a secondary asset in Cincinnati's running game last fall.
But both will play, with one likely pushing Winn out of the starting role over the course of this season. Why? Because Winn's ceiling is lower, for starters, but both Abernathy IV and Poteat bring more big-play ability – Abernathy IV is a burner, as evidenced by his work in the return game. You can even see the two sophomores complimenting each other well, with Poteat doing the dirty work and Abernathy IV being used outside the tackles.
The Bearcats have a really nice top trio at receiver – again, whether Legaux can get them the ball is another question. As was the case down the stretch last fall, U.C. will start senior Kenbrell Thompkins (44 receptions for 536 yards), a former JUCO transfer; junior Anthony McClung (49 for 683 and 6 scores), last year's leading receiver; and sophomore Alex Chisum (19 for 302), who began moving into a larger and larger role as last season progressed. The issue, as elsewhere, is depth. But depth, now an issue, could become a strength if a few younger contributors step into the second level on the depth chart: Chris Moore, Shaq Washington, Dyjuan Lewis and a few others, for example.
Washington is a player to watch; if healthy – he's still working back from an ankle injury – he could be a nice weapon inside. Likewise with Moore, whose early career has been hampered by academic issues. U.C. could also rely on converted quarterback Jordan Luallen, a former Georgia Tech transfer who could be used in a number of different ways. The Bearcats could also use Abernathy IV in the slot, should he fail to land significant carries at running back. This offense will also need a big year out of senior tight end Travis Kelce (13 for 150) – Legaux should use Kelce as a security blanket, something he didn't do as Cincinnati's starter last November and December.
Cincinnati returns three players who started at least six games up front a season ago. Two will shift positions to help U.C. replace the three full-time starters since lost to graduation: left tackle Alex Hoffman, left guard Randy Martinez and center Evan Davis. After taking over at right tackle midway through last season, sophomore Eric Lefeld moves over to blind side, replacing Hoffman. Junior Austen Bujnoch does the same, moving from right to left guard – he started all 13 games a year ago. Senior Sean Hooey, a 6'9, 300-pound protector, regains his starting job at right tackle. Junior Dean Sprague is locked in as Cincinnati's starter at center – he was last year's backup – but the staff still needs to settle on a right guard: Andre Cureton holds the edge, but he'll need to solidify his starting role in August.
The best move Jones made heading into last season was, in a way, his easiest – it didn't take a genius, with all due respect to Jones, to see that Walter Stewart was being misused as one of Cincinnati's outside linebackers. Stewart (44 tackles, 11.0 for loss, 6.0 sacks) was moved down to end, his more natural position, and the impact this had on Cincinnati's defensive front was palpable: Stewart was in a more comfortable position; the pass rush was improved; it gave U.C. an outside presence to team with all-American tackle Derek Wolfe; and it pushed senior Brandon Mills (30 tackles, 5.5 sacks) into a well-fitting role as a pure pass rusher.
Stewart's back this fall, as is he partner in the starting lineup, senior Dan Giordano (34 tackles, 5.0 sacks). Both should challenge for all-Big East honors as seniors, with Stewart even more comfortable at end and Giordano working at full capacity after suffering a few dings and bruises a season ago. Mills' usefulness stems from his ability to bring pressure on clear passing downs – though his usefulness runs dry if U.C. is forced to play him more than 25-30 snaps per game.
Mills could even move inside on third down, though he's much smaller than your typical tackle; why Mills can have some success along the interior is due to his low center of gravity and quick first step. Why Mills could be needed at times at tackle is simple: Cincinnati is going to need help replacing Wolfe's lost production, not to mention the steady play John Hughes brought to the table on the nose. This is the Bearcats' most pressing concern heading into September – how can this defense replace the player most responsible for last season's successful turnaround?
Cincinnati's only option is to throw numbers at the problem. Sophomore Cameron Beard, junior Jordan Stepp, Brandon Mitchell, Elijah Shuler – this quartet, if not one or two incoming freshmen, must gel together as one cohesive unit, with Beard and Stepp as the starters, for U.C. to maintain a strong presence along the interior of the line. The issue isn't just the lost production; U.C. is also short on experience, and even if there's reason for some degree of optimism – there is some talent here – it's obvious that Beard, a sophomore, and Stepp, a junior, need at least a few weeks in the lineup to gain some degree of comfort as full-time starters.
In all, you can raise the red flag over two groups on this defense: the interior of the line and at linebacker. But the Bearcats are terrific at end – I'd say better than any team in the Big East – and very strong in the secondary, where U.C. returns three of last season's starters. There's wonderful depth at cornerback, where starters Camerron Cheatham (59 tackles, 3 interceptions) and Deven Drane (42 tackles, 3 interceptions) are joined by nickel back Chris Williams (46 tackles). U.C. is also hoping to get a full season – or somewhere close to a full season – out of Dominique Battle, a former starter who has missed most of the last two years with a pair of knee injuries.
When he does return, it'll be in a secondary role. Drane, a senior, took the opportunity handed to him midway through last season and ran with it, showcasing the sort of blanket-like coverage – see his game against Rutgers, for example – that should net him all-Big East honors in his final season. Williams is like Mills, in a way: Cincinnati shouldn't use him anywhere but at nickel back, lining him up in the slot, but he's a great fit for this role. And like Mills, Williams gives U.C. some big-play ability in a secondary role.
If not the star, strong safety Drew Frey (73 tackles, 2 interception) is the rock of the Bearcats' secondary. A senior, Frey is also the most experienced and battle-tested member of this defense as a whole; he'll be counted on to lend some vocal leadership as U.C. breaks in five new full-time defensive starters. One new starter will be at free safety, where junior Arryn Chenault – who started one game in Frey's absence last fall – replaces Wesley Richardson.
One area where Cincinnati stands above its fellow Big East contenders is on special teams. Abernathy IV is the league's most consistent return man. Senior punter Pat O'Donnell is the league's best punter, not to mention the program's best at the position since Kevin Huber earned all-American honors in 2008. Sophomore kicker Tony Miliano flashed some all-conference ability as a freshman – he'll earn postseason honors before he's through.
Position battle(s) to watch
Linebacker The competition for starting jobs is over, for all intents and purposes. Barring injury or some fairly unforeseeable development – an incoming recruit breaking loose, a holdover making a statement in August – Cincinnati will go forward with senior Maalik Bomar on the weak side (61 tackles, 3.5 for loss), sophomore Nick Temple on the strong side (35 tackles, 1 interception) and sophomore Solomon Tentman in the middle. The Bearcats have other options, mind you, but each seemed to cement a starting role during the spring: Bomar is an incumbent, Temple played extensively as a rookie and Tentman simply outplayed his primary competition for the job as J.K. Schaffer's replacement.
Cincinnati doesn't run your typical 4-3 set, which does slightly minimize the importance of featuring three set-in-stone starting linebackers. A healthy portion of the Bearcats' defensive snaps will come with a fifth defensive back on the field, often Williams – and when Williams comes in, Tentman will step out. That helps, in a way, but U.C. still has two significant question marks at linebacker: Bomar's health and Tentman's ability to replace Shaffer's lost production on first and second down.
Bomar shouldn't encounter the same upper-body injuries that gave him issues over the second half of last season. But despite playing well during the spring, Tentman simply won't duplicate all that Shaffer brought to the table; in addition to his production, Shaffer was a captain in every sense of the word – he was an every-snap linebacker, a strong presence against the run and an experienced, steady hand who could be counted on to keep U.C. aligned correctly from down to down. This is a concern: Tentman may have impressed the staff in March and April, but it's only natural to expect the Bearcats' linebacker play to take a step back.
Game(s) to watch
Cincinnati won't play a true road game until Oct. 20, though the date with Virginia Tech, in Landover, Md., is a de facto home game for the Hokies. That's one piece of good news, as is the fact that the Bearcats get four Big East home games – and two of three road games come against Connecticut and Temple. It's a schedule conducive to an eight-win regular season. But it's also one that could run off the rails early, should U.C. lose to Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech, and one that could find trouble at the midway point, with road games against Toledo and Louisville – and one that could end poorly, even if Rutgers and U.S.F. come to Nippert Stadium. One thing to keep in mind: Cincinnati plays two F.C.S. teams, Delaware State and Fordham, so it will need seven regular season wins to become bowl eligible.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell I have Cincinnati very much in the mix for a Big East title – and when gauging how most view the Bearcats heading into September, I feel like I'm in the minority. This program has matching blueprints on both sides of the ball: the offense is built for success and the defense, despite some changes, will remain the same blitzing, attacking, aggressive group it has been for several seasons. Despite some losses, and despite the holes that still exist at several key spots, U.C. is not going to slide back out of Big East championship contention; from top to bottom, the Bearcats are too strong to simply fall off the map. This shouldn't come as a surprise to those who have seen U.C. go from irrelevance to the Big East's most consistent program – remember, this is the league's best team since 2006.
But like most, I do see some issues that should keep the Bearcats from making a run at Rutgers and Louisville. One is quarterback: Legaux needs to make some drastic strides before giving U.C. the consistency it demands from the position. Another issue is running back: Poteat and Abernathy IV are the future, but it's too early to say that both are ready to give U.C. 100-plus carries in 2012. Then there's this defense, which is weak where it counts: up the middle. Can U.C. survive if it can't get adequate run support at tackle and linebacker – better yet, can its tackles demand enough attention for U.C. to get the necessary production out of its three very strong ends? Of these concerns, none loom larger than Legaux at quarterback. Obviously, U.C. will need to maintain its offensive excellence to win the Big East crown. For now, it's these issues that make the Bearcats the third-best team in the conference. Eight wins is doable, but the Scarlet Knights and Cardinals enter the fall with fewer concerns.
Dream season Cincinnati loses once during non-conference play, to Virginia Tech, and once during Big East play, at Louisville. The Bearcats head into the postseason at 10-2, earning a B.C.S. bid for the third time in four seasons.
Nightmare season The Bearcats are 3-4 heading into November – beating only Delaware State, Miami (Ohio) and Fordham – and notch only win over the season's final five games. For the second time under Jones, U.C. goes 4-8.

Tulsa is next.
Paul: It was, but not any more. Forgot to update hint. Had made a few changes to list since finishing Cincinnati on Thursday.
It's the University of South Carolina, then.
33 days to game day
Cincinnati has a lot of potential with players that have yet to accomplish anything. Poteat, Legeaux, Thompkins specifically. Paul did a nice job showing that the talent is there, but most UC fans I know are expecting 7-8 wins this season because it's difficult to replace all the talent that was lost last year (Collaros/Wolfe/Schaffer being the major losses). Jones has been able to recruit and pull in some talented high school players, now it's just time for them to deliver on the fly.
One correction is that Drane is actually a junior, which makes his play that much more impressive.
To Clayton:
I would say Pead is the next major loss to Collaros and you seemed to forgot him
Another difficult one. South Carolina doesn't fit, but I can't figure out what team does.
So Paul's top candidates for BCS-Busters (the "Top 12/Top 16 rule") this year are:
Louisiana Tech – predicted WAC champ
Boise State – predicted MWC champ
Ohio – predicted MAC champ
And whoever emerges from Tulsa, Houston and UCF as the C-USA champ.
With 3 teams in the Top 41, it also seems like Paul ranks C-USA as the toughest league outside the 6 auto-bid leagues.
Depending on the interpretation of the hints, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill may fit if the recently vacated wins are counted.
That's interesting, so paul how many times do you change the list in between 120 and #1?
"With 3 teams in the Top 41…"
Check it, 2 of those 3 teams will be leaving after the upcoming season. And essentially replaced with FCS move-ups in 2014 & 2015.
I'll be interesting to see if CUSA stays above the Sun Belt in the upcoming 2014/2015 seasons.
Pretty nice article, except for some factual inaccuracies:
First, Munchie's last name is spelled "L-E-G-A-U-X," not "Legeaux."
Second, Cincinnati actually did win a share of the Big East title last year. The players have rings to prove it.
And Deven Drane is a junior, not a senior.
But I think you got the issues mostly right. Although I think at least one of the freshmen RBs will get major PT. Also, I don't think Bomar missed any time injured last year, so I don't think you can question his durability.
It will be interesting to see what happens on September 6, when Pitt comes to town. I think CBJ and the Bearcats are going to surprise again.

MOUNT VERNON The Wednesday, Nov. 7, meeting of the Knox County Historical Society will again honor area military veterans when students from St. Vincent de Paul School portray several of Knox Countys many Civil War veterans and tell about some of their experiences during that War.
Students from Beth Robinsons seventh- and eighth-grade social studies classes have researched stories of Knox Countys involvement in the Civil War and then selected an individual whose story they wanted to share.
The Wednesday evening program will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the KCHS Museum, 875 Harcourt Road. Presentation of the colors will be given by the Knox County Career Center Air Force Jr. ROTC Unit, under the direction of instructor Lt. Col. Chris Salvucci.
Matt Brenneman will portray Col. Alexander Cassil, who served as Knox County Auditor, school board member, president of the Agricultural Society, and director of the Knox County Savings Bank. As Lt. Colonel of Company A of the 65th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, he commanded his regiment at the Battle of Stone River (Murfreesborough), Tenn. His letter to W.C. Cooper of Mount Vernon recounts the courage of his soldiers, details of the battle, and the names of those killed and wounded.
Alex Drews will represent Mount Vernons Osborn Hamline Ingham Oldroyd (O.H.I.O.), who was present throughout the siege at Vicksburg, Miss., in the spring of 1863. His detailed diary, recently reprinted by the Raymond, Miss., Historical Society, recounts the events leading up to Vicksburgs surrender after more than 60 days.
Keith Robinson will tell the story of Dr. Joseph Gordon, who also kept a detailed diary, relating both the extreme boredom and the sudden action in the life of an infantryman. Gordon returned to Mount Vernon after the war to study medicine and begin his medical practice, and he later helped organize Knox Countys first medical society.
Will Smith, himself badly injured in an automobile accident in Nebraska in 2011, will represent a soldier from Knox Countys Company B of the 4th O.V.I. who was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. Will was especially chosen so that he could introduce President Abraham Lincoln, as he presents his famous Gettysburg Address to the gathering.
And St. Vincent teacher, Beth Robinson, will be portraying Knox Countys famous and beloved nurse, Mary Ann Ball Mother Bickerdyke, who established greatly improved medical facilities for wounded soldiers throughout the Civil War.
The museum will also have a new special exhibit honoring the veterans portrayed by the students and the battles in which they served. For more information, call the Knox County Historical Society Museum at 740-393-5247.

When you need a stiff drink to unwind, nothing should come between you and your spirit of choice. Unlike ice, which spurs you to throw back your rye before it gets watered down, pre-chilled Whisky Stones® won't melt. Made from Vermont soapstone, the non-porous cubes won't absorb or alter the essence of whatever you're sipping. They're an ingenious way to keep your spirit chilled and unadulterated.
Got these for my dad and he LOVES them! Stays cold for longer than you need. Haven't tried them warm yet, but I'm sure they work just as well!
These stones will keep your liquid cold all night long...must buy for the avid sipper! Awesome and thank you Birchbox
They are great and very easy to use! just freeze them and pop them in your whiskey! I was actually surprised how cold they were when I got them out of the freezer. Boyfriend loves them!
I bought these for my fiancé for his birthday and he uses them all the time. They just sit in the freezer until he's ready for them and just pops one into his glass and it cools the drink instantly!
These are really great for any liquor that you don't want to get watered down! I know several of my friends asked where to get these as soon as they saw them.
I use the stones when a friend asks for his drink neat. At first people may be skeptical about "rocks" in their drink, but almost everyone who i served these too has commented on the way they cool a drink without watering it down. Easy to maintain.
Whisky stones are interesting and great conversation pieces. They keep the drink cold for hours and do not retain any of the flavor from previous drinks. They do not water your drink down and they create and interesting look
People who complain about these don't understand whiskey/scotch or how to drink it. Do not listen to those that say its not cold enough. Read the description it is all right there. Ice cubes are to cold and close the flavors off. These cubes create a perfect temperature and heighten the flavor profile of the finest scotches.
I do wish that the rocks stayed a little colder over the course of the night. These rocks chill my whiskey just enough for the first pour, but after that you need another rock or to put them back in the freezer. The number one thing I like about these is that unlike normal ice I don't have to worry about my whiskey being watered down with the last sip.
I bought a few of these stones. I keep them in my freezer because you have to have them practically frozen for them to work. Generally they have a great look, but overall I'd prefer a spherical ice mold, obv.
